Can't compile a income tax related program.

[WillX47]

I'm writing a program that computes federal income taxes. It checks for four different filing status's then asks for your taxable income. After this all the calculations are done, then BAM, results.

My trouble right now is getting it compiled. I'm using a switch statement (per teachers instructions) for the four different filing status's. I've written up the first case and wanted to run some numbers, but can't get it to compile.

Can anyone help me sort out what is going wrong?

If the calculations look confusing here is the logic behind them:
"For each filing status there are six tax rates. Each rate is applied to a given amount of the taxable income. For example, for a taxable income of $450,000 for a single filer, $7,550 is taxed at 10%, ($30,650-$7,550) at 15%, ($74,200-$30,650) at 25%, ($154,800-$74,200) at 28%, ($336,550-$154,800) at 33%, and ($450,000-336,550) at 35%."

I hope did the calculations right :/


All help is greatly appreciated, I really thank you guys.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int statusCode;
	float taxableIncome;
	float taxAMT;
	float bracketOne;
	float bracketTwo;

	float bracketSix;

		cin >> statusCode;

		if (statusCode < 1 || statusCode > 4)
			cout << "You must enter a correct Status Code." << endl << endl;
	}
	while (statusCode < 1 || statusCode > 4);


	//do/while statement for input of taxableIncome
	do

	}
	while (taxableIncome < 0);


	//switch to control the four cases (1)single (2)married and filing jointly
	//(3)married and filing separately (4)head of a household
	switch (statusCode)

	case 1 : if(taxableIncome < 7550)
				   bracketOne = (taxableIncome)(.10);
			   else

		break;

	default : cout << "I think I need a defualt statement right?" << endl;

	}

	//Just a test to see what the numbers all look like:
	cout << bracketOne << " " << bracketTwo << " " << bracketThree 
		 << " " << bracketFour << " " << bracketFive << " " << bracketSix << endl;

	//End of program stuff
	system("pause");
	return 0;
}

In C++, you must explicitly multiply with the asterisk * rather than using mathematic notation. The same applies to many other languages.

I'm sure I learned that but forgot it, I'll fix all that up. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate your time.
